In each of the following sentences, there is one underlined word and one gap. From the list of words lettered A to D, choose the one that is most nearly opposite in meaning to the underlined word and that will, at the same time, correctly fill the gap in the sentence.
Some people are generous towards strangers, while others are _______ towards them.
"Generous" means a willingness to give more than necessary or expected. The opposite would be someone who does not care much, hence, "indifferent" fits well. "Sympathetic" is a positive attribute and does not provide a contrast to "generous." "Nasty" and "mean" both imply negative attitudes that are not direct opposites of "generous" as they suggest active unkindness rather than a lack of concern.
